  • Can you restore historic hardwood floors?

    Yes, we specialize in restoring heritage homes and worn hardwood floors using deep sanding, refinishing, and personalized material choices to match original wood tone.

  • How long before I can walk on my floors and move furniture back after refinishing?

    Most refinished floors are ready for light foot traffic within 24 hours, and safe for furniture after 48 to 72 hours. Rugs should wait at least two weeks to allow the finish to fully cure. Rushing any of these steps can leave dents, scratches, or marks in the finish before it hardens completely.

  • How soon after hardwood floor refinishing can I put rugs back down?

    Rugs should stay off refinished hardwood for at least two weeks after the final coat. Placing them too soon traps moisture and softens the curing finish underneath, which can cause discoloration or impressions that are difficult to correct.

  • What happens if I walk on refinished hardwood floors before they are fully dry?

    Walking on floors before they are ready can leave scuff marks, footprints, or soft spots in the finish that are hard to fix without re-coating. Waiting the recommended 24 hours for initial foot traffic and the full cure window before heavy use protects the work and keeps the results looking their best.
